Open challenge: can anyone produce a pithy little word (and no taking the pith) that has the above definition?

three sizes of soft drink: large, extra-large and super-sizeHaven't seen that yet, but there's definitely no such thing as a "Small" Coke. It would be Regular. No doubt that term will at some stage be considered too nondescript and colourless.

Could be a response to those lines (which I just found quote Sun Ra, whoever he is):

"I'm not a part of history - his story,I'm more a part of the mystery, which is my story.What's your story?"

"A fish story!"

Quite appropriate here actually, Jackie, 'cos fish stories would I think relate to the size of things. Like Coke cups, I mean .

A fishonabike story would perhaps be a dramatic exaggeration that sounds wholly convincing when first heard, but on further consideration makes no sense at all. You return to the scene of the "crime" only to find that the storyteller has disappeared, your last bottle of bourbon has mysteriously emptied itself, and there's no fish-food left in the cupboards.
